Unreleased debut from the Dilated Peoples before (?) DJ Babu joined Evidence & Rakaa Iriscience. Back then Evidence wasn't in to producing (at least not this release). Not the best audio quality, but this rarity kind of reminds me of the good old days when mixtapes were cassettes.

Thanks, couldn't find that one. Although the cover suggests DJ Babu was with Ev & Rakaa already. My info says otherwise..

word!! I remember hearing Babu joined Dilated in 1996 or 1997.Just six months or a little more before work the angles was released. Rakaa used still work at the Hip Hop shop when this was beening recorded.
